The Importance of Comprehensive Eye Exams

Regular eye exams are essential for:

• Detecting Vision Problems: Identifying refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
• Monitoring Eye Health: Checking for signs of eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts
• Early Detection: Diagnosing systemic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure that can affect your eyes
• Updating Prescriptions: Ensuring your eyeglasses or contact lenses prescription is current for optimal vision

What to Expect During Your Eye Exam

Our eye examinations at Advanced Eyecare, LLC include:

1. Patient History: Discussing your medical history, vision issues, and any concerns you may have
2. Visual Acuity Test: Measuring how clearly you see at different distances
3. Refraction Test: Determining your exact eyeglasses or contact lens prescription
4. Eye Movement Test: Checking the alignment and movement of your eyes
5. Eye Pressure Test: Screening for glaucoma by measuring the pressure inside your eyes
6. Slit-Lamp Examination: Using a special microscope to examine the front parts of your eyes
7. Retinal Examination: Inspecting the back of your eyes to check for signs of retinal issues or other diseases

How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?

According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), the frequency of eye exams depends on your age, risk factors, and whether you wear corrective lenses.

• Children: The AOA recommends a comprehensive eye exam at six months, three years, and before starting school. School-aged children should have annual exams to ensure their vision is developing properly.
• Adults: Individuals aged 18 to 60 should have an eye exam every two years, while those over 60 should have annual exams.

If you have risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of eye disease, or if you wear contact lenses, more frequent exams may be necessary.
